Glen Burnie man arrested on drug charges

July 13, 1994

County police, responding to a complaint of loud music at an apartment complex where they say drug dealers stash their wares, arrested an 18-year-old Glen Burnie man on drug charges Sunday morning, police said yesterday.

Officer James Haskell arrived at Woodhill Drive shortly before 3 a.m. and saw several men walking from an apartment building to a nearby convenience store. Meanwhile, Officer Gerald Jones spotted the same group and called them to his car. But one of the men, carrying a plastic bag, turned back toward the apartments.

Officer Haskell saw the man walk into a stairwell of the apartment building, go downstairs, then return and leave the building.

Officer Haskell went into the building and found a clear plastic sandwich bag that contained 16 smaller bags of a substance that field-tested positive for crack cocaine, police said.
